On occasion the subject of repairing fuel tanks comes up, this is a repair that I recently done on a aluminum transport diesel fuel tank where the drop pipe from the pump wore a ring in the bottom of the tank, I repaired this tank by tig welding it and generally I don't pump exhaust into a tank that was used for diesel fuel but on this one I did use a hose from a diesel tractor. I have done this same repair on gas tanks but take special precocious measures to do so , most often I will let them sit for a extended amount of time to let the gas fumes evaporate and generally rinse them several times with fresh diesel fuel and depending on the situation pump either exhaust fumes from a diesel engine into them or argon (just because its the gas I have on hand for the mig welder). every situation is different I have also repaired gas tanks on pickups by soldering sheet metal patch's on them with a electric soldering hot iron. fuel tanks can be repaired if you use you head about doing it .
